7 weeks (and 2 days)

All of our 7 week pictures we took are kinda blurry, so we cheated. Hunter now weighs 11 lbs 12 oz. He is getting bigger by the second!!!

First trip away from home

We traveled to Sunriver for Memorial Day weekend. Some good friends of ours are getting married and we all (wedding party) stayed in a house down there for the weekend. I took Friday off just so we could “mosey” our way down there. I do have to say out of the truckloads of advice that comes your way when you have kids, the best advice I have gotten so far came from a magazine. It was an article that talked about going on vacation with kids, and it said something like – “the only plans you should make, is to make no plans.” Everything will take more time with a little one. I was prepared for that, so when it took us 6 hours to drive a 3-hour drive I was ok with it. It was also a test for us to see if we could remember everything we “needed.” We did really well, no fatal mistakes like forgetting diapers, the baby or clothes. The only thing that would have been nice was a night light, to make the midnight, 2 am, 4 am, 6 am changes and feeding a little easier. I have to say though, we had our car packed to the hilt, and we used everything we brought. I see an SUV in our future when kid # 2 and beyond comes along. We did a poor job at getting pictures, this one is at Cultus Lake, it was about an hour away from where we were staying. Some people rented canoes and kayaks. I thought Hunter might still be a little young for that, so we just stayed on the shore.

6 weeks

I had to "pre date" this post for our records...I have been lazy and have not updated in a few weeks. however the picture is from 6 weeks old. Hunter weighed 10.5 lbs.

Roll Over Baby!!!

Ok so Hunter rolled over for the first time when he was 4 and a half weeks old. Becky saw it, and I did not. I thought she may have dreamed it or hallucinated it due to sleep deprivation. However I saw him do it at 5 weeks old. I though holy cow, don't babies do this kind of stuff at 4-5 months not 4-5 WEEKS. I think people believed us, but thought we might have set him up or assisted him. Now the proof is here. He has now rolled over 5 times!!!

5 Weeks

Wow he is already five weeks old! A couple of things to mention...
He is almost 10lbs...(give him a day or two more...he'll be there)
He rolled over from his tummy to his back...Quite the over achiever, huh?
The close up is the 5 week picture and the other one is the first time Uncle Brian got to hold Hunter.

Some more stuff

There are a few "firsts" that I should report:
- First bottle...went very well!
- First time "Uncle" Joe held him
- First time sharing dads pillow.

4 Weeks!

I guess we can call this a month! Hunter is now 9lbs. Yes I said 9!
